It is true that extended

families

have disappeared recently

due to

lots of reasons,

therefore

it has many consequences for individuals and communities to deal with. I would mention some reasons and side effects. I believe that there are many factors causing

this

new lifestyle,

firstly

, nowadays all family members have to work in an overwhelming schedule which makes them work for long hours and spend

time

in the workplace so they don't have enough

time

to deal with others.

secondly

, expenses for living in a city are more expensive than past, and providing facilities for large

families

is approximately impossible,

for example

, renting a big house requires a huge amount of money.

Finally

, modern society prefers to have a nuclear family so the size of them has become smaller day by day .

On the other hand

,

this

new trend has affected individuals and countries in different ways. The children who grow up in nuclear

families

have fewer communication skills than ones who are nurtured in extended

families

.

However

,

due to

the lack of playmates and opportunities to spend their

time

with other family members, they have to play video games or watch movies, which leads them to lose their self-confidence

instead

of activities that help them boost cognitive skills.

However

, society will face some problems too,

such

as providing more nursery rooms for elderly people whose relatives don't have enough space and

time

for them. In conclusion,

while

families

are smaller than past for many different reasons, they will have some problems,
